Katakana Otoshiana
Because there is no perfect match for the F sound in Japanese, many English words with that sound are written with h (フ) in katakana.
coffee ➡ koohii (コーヒー)
smartphone ➡ sumaho (スマホ)
platform ➡ hoomu (ホーム) ※駅のホーム
Be careful to make them the F sound in English!
日本語にはFの音がありません。そのためFの音が含まれる英単語はよくカタカナの「フ」で表記されます。
coffee ➡ koohii (コーヒー)
smartphone ➡ sumaho (スマホ)
platform ➡ hoomu (ホーム) ※駅のホーム
英語で発音する時はFの音で発音するように気を付けましょう!

The H sound in English is often stressed a bit more than the katakana h (フ) sound.
hello ➡ harou (ハロー)
heart ➡ haato (ハート)
hamburger ➡ hanbaagaa (ハンバーガー)
Be careful to make it sound stronger in English.
Hの音は「フ」の発音に比べて少し強めに発音されます。

heart ➡ haato (ハート)
hamburger ➡ hanbaagaa (ハンバーガー)
英語でHの音を発音する時は,Hの音をはっきり発音するように気を付けましょう!
